Jakarta) Library, and Malang Institute of Teacher Training and Educational

Science (now Malang State University) Library.
To facilitate the work of library networking, UKKP developed library

automation programs. Through the automation , data processing in the library was
operated using computer. UKKP uses automation program developed by
UNESCO, called CDS/ISIS. This program was developed for automation of

libraries in developing countries so that the program could be used for free and
could be developed as needed. UKKP conducted training for the library staff of

state higher education institutions to become system managers for library
automation . Apart from giving software and staff training, UKKP also provided
hardware , such as computer programmed with CDS/ISIS and facsimile machine .
With the provision of the software and hardware, all libraries of state higher

education institutions, Pusyandi or its members, have to implement library
automation. In 1994, UT library cataloging system was retyped in CDS/ISIS

format. Since 1995, all of UT library catalogue has been stored in the data
center. With the development of LAN network at UT, in 1996 library collections
service can be accessed by LAN (intranet) and internet.

In 1996, UKKP activities began to decrease, due to the ending of the World

network. Several libraries in Central and East Java then initiated to develop a

cooperation forum for state higher education institution libraries, called Forum
Kerjasama Perpustakaan Perguruan Tinggi Negeri (FKP2TN) or Partnership
Forum for State Higher Education Institution Library. Because of a technical

problem, the membership of FKP2TN was limited to state higher education
institution libraries located on the island of Java. Initially, membership of

FKP2TN was limited to state higher education institutions under the Department
of National Education . However, because of the demand of several lAIN (State
Institute of Islamic Studies) libraries, the membership was extended to include

state higher education institutions within the Ministry of Religion , such as UIN
